Digitize the room — Laser scanner makes it possible

The Faro Laser Scanner LS produces a 360° view.

The Faro Laser Scanner LS, from Faro Technologies Inc., Lake Mary, Fla., digitizes massive spaces into 3D data, scanning 120,000 pps — up to 100 times faster than most time-of-flight scanners — with 3-mm accuracy. The result is an image so detailed that it looks like a black-and-white photo, but in three dimensions. A color option uses a digital camera to overlay color pixels on the point-cloud data. This data lets users measure distance between points, move in 3D space, and create CAD models.
